R_(a) ² is acyl, and

R⁷ is alkoxy.

The processes as illustrated above are explained in the following in more detail.

Process 1:

The object compound (I) can be prepared by reacting a compound (III) or its salt with a compound (IV).

Preferred examples of the alkoxy for R⁷ of the compound (IV) may be lower ones (e.g. methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, etc.).

The salt of the compound (III) may be a salt with an inorganic or organic acid such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, etc.

The starting compounds (III) include known and novel ones. The known compounds, e.g. 4-aminoquinazoline, 2-chloro-4-aminoquinazoline, 2-hydroxy-4-aminoquinazoline and 2-methoxy-4-aminoquinazoline can be prepared by the method described in Journal of the Chemical Society (C) 1284 (1969), Chemical Abstracts 54, 24778b and 9939C (1960), and the new compounds (III) can be prepared in the similar manner thereto. The method for preparing said new compound is to be referred to Preparation of starting compounds as described hereinafter.

The reaction of this process is usually conducted in a solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide, ethanol, propanol, isobutyl alcohol, tetrahydrofuran, diphenylether, chloroform, toluene, xylene, or the like, at a temperature range from cooling to heating.

This reaction may be carried out in the presence of a base such as alkali metal hydride (e.g. sodium hydride), alkali metal amide (e.g. sodium amide) alkali metal alkoxide (e.g. potassium t-butoxide), diazabicyclo compound (e.g. 1,5-diazabicyclo[3,4,0]nonene-5, 1,5-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]undecene-5, etc.), or the like.

When this reaction is conducted at relatively high temperature, there may be occasionally produced a ring closure compound, i.e. primidoquinazoline compound (II). Thus produced pyrimidoquinazoline compound can be transformed to quinazoline compound (I) by treating it with a strong base such as alkali metal alkoxide (e.g. sodium ethoxide). This case is also included within the scope of this process.

Process 2:

The object compound (Ib) can be prepared by reducing a compound (Ia).

The reduction can preferably be conducted by catalytic reduction.

The catalytic reduction is usually conducted at ambient temperature or under cooling in an inert solvent (e.g. N,N-dimethylformamide, ethanol, propanol, isobutyl alcohol, tetrahydrofuran, chloroform, ethyl acetate, acetic acid, etc.) by using a conventional catalyst such as Raney nickel, palladium on carbon, or the like.

Process 3:

The object compound (Ic) can be prepared by reacting a compound (Ib) with an acylating agent.

The acylating agent to be used in this reaction includes an organic acid (i.e. R_(a) ² OH, in which R_(a) ² is as defined above) and its reactive derivative.

Suitable examples of the organic acids are to be referred to the descriptions of the suitable acyl moiety of the acylamino group for R² of the compound (II).

The suitable reactive derivative may be a conventional ones such as an acid halide (e.g. acid chloride, acid bromide, etc.), an acid azide, an acid anhydride, an activated amide, an activated ester, etc.

When free acid is used as an acylating agent, the acylation reaction may preferably be conducted in the presence of a conventional condensing agent.

The reaction is usually conducted in a solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane, chloroform, pyridine or a mixture thereof.

The reaction can also be conducted preferably in the presence of an organic or inorganic base such as alkali metal (e.g. sodium), alkaline earth metal (e.g. calcium), alkali or alkaline earth metal hydride (e.g. sodium hydride, calcium hydride, etc.), alkali or alkaline earth metal hydroxide (e.g. sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, etc.), alkali or alkaline earth metal carbonate or bicarbonate (e.g. sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate), alkali or alkaline earth metal alkoxide (e.g. sodium ethoxide, lithium methoxide, magnesium methoxide), trialkylamine (e.g. triethylamine), pyridine, bicyclodiaza compound (e.g. 1,5-diazabicyclo[3,4,0]nonene-5, 1,5-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]undecene-5, etc.) and the like.

The reaction may preferably be conducted within the range of cooling to ambient temperature.

When this acylation reaction is conducted with an excess amount of the acylating agent, there may occasionally be produced N,N-diacylated compound, and this case is also included within the scope of this process.

Process 4:

The object compound (IIa) can be prepared by heating a compound (Id).

This reaction is usually conducted under heating, preferably at 160°-270° C. in the presence or absence of a solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide, diphenylether, biphenyl, paraffin or the like. The optimum reaction conditions can be selected from the above reaction conditions according to kinds of the starting compound.

Process 5:

The object compound (IIb) can be prepared by subjecting a compound (IIa) to selective hydrolysis of the ester.

This reaction is usually conducted by heating a compound (IIa) in the presence of lithium iodide in an inert solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide, collidine, lutidine, pyridine and the like, and then treating the resultant compound with water.

The object compound prepared by each process as mentioned above can be isolated and purified in a conventional manner.

The object compound, quinazoline derivatives (I) and (II) possess strong antiallergic activity and antiinflammatory activity. Accordingly, the object compound of this invention is useful for the treatment of symptoms associated with allergic diseases such as allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, urticaria, pollenosis, allergic conjunctivitis, atopic dermatitis, ulcerative colitis, alimentary allergy (e.g. milk allergy), bird fancier's disease, aphthous stomatitis and the like. For illustrating purposes, the antiallergic activity of some representative compounds of the object compounds (I) and (II) are shown in the following.

(a) Preparation of antiserum

A solution of egg albumin (2 mg) in B. pertussis-diphtheria-tetanus mixed vaccine (1 ml) was mixed with Freund incomplete adjuvant (1 ml) to give an emulsion. The emulsion was given subcutaneously in a single dose of 1 ml divided equally (0.25 ml) to the four foot pads of male SD (Sprague-Dawley) strain rats aged 8 weeks, each weighing about 300 g.

10 days after the immunization, blood samples were collected from femoral artery of the rats and allowed to stand under ice-cooling for 5 hours. The separated supernatant was centrifuged at 4° C. (10,000 r.p.m.×1 hour). The antisera thus obtained were stored at -80° C. prior to use.

(b) Inhibitory effect on P.C.A.

Male SD-strain rats aged 8 weeks, weighing 290 to 330 g, were used for PCA reaction with the homologous reaginic antiserum as prepared above. Each 0.1 ml of 64 fold diluted antiserum were injected intradermally at separate sites on the back of rats clipped free of hair, and 48 hours later, 1 ml of aqueous solution containing each 5 mg of the egg albumin and Evans blue was injected intravenously to evoke PCA reaction. Test compound was given to the animals orally 60 minutes or intravenously 5 minutes before the challenge with antigen. Control group received vehicle. Each dose group consisted of 5 animals. One hour after the challenge with antigen, the animals were sacrificed and then skinned. Dye spots caused with antiserum were investigated for their size on the reversed side of the skin, respectively. The results were expressed by percent inhibition values calcuated from averaged values of the longest and shortest diameters for each spot in comparison with those in control group.
